A while ago, I bought a load of gov't surplus scrap iron. when I went to pick it up, I couldn't find it at the warehouse. They went back and showed me two pallets full of tool boxes with tools in them. I protested this wasn't scrap iron, they said, " The gov't can call it whatever it wants, you own it now."

I found 36 tool boxes filled with Snap-On, Proto, MAC, S-K, Armstrong, ProAmerican, Stanley, JH Williams and Easco tool sets, wrenches mostly metric up to 75mm. Included some 1" drive stuff and many many 0-600 3/4 drive torque wrenches.

I have been testing them out as I do work and each year I sell a bunch at the MoPar National Swap Meet and the VW Midwest swap meet.

Snap-On, S-K Proto and Easco are the best, the others do the job but I see little things, like Easco wrenches being longer and beefier, for example.

Have only broken one socket and that one was one a 600 lbs-ft 46mm bolt on a Citroen engine cradle.
